My name is Olivia Underwood. I was born April 8th, 2003 and live in Madisonville TN. I am very focused on my future and I realize that my success in school, sports, and life will be determined by how hard I am willing to work or practice to improve my skills. We all have God given talents, but hard work is the key to success when you want to achieve the impossible.

I participate in many sports (Basketball, Cheerleading, Gymnastics), but softball is my passion. I have competed since the age of 4 and at a National level (ASA/PGF) from 10U and even won the 2016 ASA 12U National Championship. I feel today’s players will take the game to a whole new level in the future and I am proud to be a part of that evolution. I am lucky in the fact I get to work with some of the best coaches in the sport and have parents who support me 100%. I get to travel nationally and compete against the best teams in the country. I feel so strongly about the advancement of the sport that I have started a free camp for local youth (6U) and (8U) called “Work Hard & Play Big”. Working with the younger players tests my skills and helps them get the right start.Softball is my passion, but I also really enjoy playing basketball and cheerleading as well. I have received many awards in both sports and it gives me additional challenges outside the softball field. I am more than an athlete, I'm among the top of my class in academics. I have won many academic awards (Math, Science, etc…) and was chosen to participate in the “Young Leaders of America”, which took place in the state capitol. My family has not only pushed me hard on the field, but in the class room as well. I attend a great school system with wonderful teachers that are preparing me for the many challenges down the road.I also enjoy spending time with my family and we do many activities together on and off the fields. We really enjoy spending time skiing on the lakes in the summer and skiing down the mountains in the winter. My whole life has evolved around softball, but we find time to spend as a family when we are not practicing or playing ball.
